It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs starting in 1979. C++ is an extension of the C programming language, adding features such as classes, objects, and exceptions. + +## Basics of C++ Programming + +Here are some basic components and concepts in C++ programming: + +### Including Libraries + +In C++, we use the `#include` directive to include libraries or header files into our program. For example, to include the standard input/output library, we write: + +```cpp +#include +``` + +### Main Function + +The entry point of a C++ program is the `main` function. Every C++ program must have a `main` function: + +```cpp +int main() { + // Your code goes here + return 0; +} +``` + +### Input/Output + +To perform input and output operations in C++, we can use the built-in objects `std::cin` for input and `std::cout` for output, available in the `iostream` library. Here's an example of reading an integer and printing its value: + +```cpp +#include + +int main() { + int number; + std::cout << "Enter an integer: "; + std::cin >> number; + std::cout << "You entered: " << number << std::endl; + return 0; +} +``` + +### Variables and Data Types + +C++ has several basic data types for representing integer, floating-point, and character values: + +- `int`: integer values +- `float`: single-precision floating-point values +- `double`: double-precision floating-point values +- `char`: single characters + +Variables must be declared with a data type before they can be used: + +```cpp +int x; +float y; +double z; +char c; +``` + +### Control Structures + +C++ provides control structures for conditional execution and iteration, such as `if`, `else`, `while`, `for`, and `switch` statements. + +#### If-Else Statement +```cpp +if (condition) { + // Code to execute if the condition is true +} else { + // Code to execute if the condition is false +} +``` + +#### While Loop +```cpp +while (condition) { + // Code to execute while the condition is true +} +``` + +#### For Loop +```cpp +for (initialization; condition; update) { + // Code to execute while the condition is true +} +``` + +#### Switch Statement +```cpp +switch (variable) { + case value1: + // Code to execute if variable == value1 + break; + case value2: + // Code to execute if variable == value2 + break; + // More cases... + default: + // Code to execute if variable does not match any case value +} +``` + +### Functions + +Functions are reusable blocks of code that can be called with arguments to perform a specific task. Functions are defined with a return type, a name, a parameter list, and a body. + +```cpp +ReturnType functionName(ParameterType1 parameter1, ParameterType2 parameter2) { + // Function body + // ... + return returnValue; +} +``` + +For example, here's a function that adds two integers and returns the result: + +```cpp +int add(int a, int b) { + return a + b; +} + +int main() { + int result = add(3, 4); + std::cout << "3 + 4 = " << result << std::endl; + return 0; +} +``` + +This basic introduction to C++ should provide you with a good foundation for further learning. Explore more topics such as classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, templates, and the Standard Template Library (STL) to deepen your understanding of C++ and start writing more advanced programs. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/data/roadmaps/cpp/content/101-setting-up/102-first-program.md b/src/data/roadmaps/cpp/content/101-setting-up/102-first-program.md index 31eb95077..17f4a5088 100644 --- a/src/data/roadmaps/cpp/content/101-setting-up/102-first-program.md +++ b/src/data/roadmaps/cpp/content/101-setting-up/102-first-program.md @@ -1 +1,58 @@ -# First program \ No newline at end of file +# First Program in C++ + +In this section, we'll discuss the basic structure of a C++ program, walk you through your first program (the "Hello, World!" example), and provide additional explanations of its syntax. + +## Hello, World! + +The first program that most people learn to write in any programming language is often a simple one that displays the message "Hello, World!" on the screen.

In C++, you can achieve OOP through the use of classes and objects. + +### Classes + +A class is a blueprint for creating objects. It defines the structure (data members) and behavior (member functions) for a type of object. Here's an example of a simple class: + +```cpp +class Dog { +public: + std::string name; + int age; + + void bark() { + std::cout << name << " barks!" << std::endl; + } +}; +``` + +This `Dog` class has two data members: `name` and `age`, and one member function `bark`. You can create an object of this class and access its members like this: + +```cpp +Dog myDog; +myDog.name = "Fido"; +myDog.age = 3; +myDog.bark(); // Output: Fido barks! +``` + +### Encapsulation + +Encapsulation is the concept of bundling data and functions that operate on that data within a single unit, such as a class. It helps to hide the internal implementation details of a class and expose only the necessary information and functionalities. In C++, you can use access specifiers like `public`, `private`, and `protected` to control the visibility and accessibility of class members. For example: + +```cpp +class Dog { +private: + std::string name; + int age; + +public: + void setName(std::string n) { + name = n; + } + + void setAge(int a) { + age = a; + } + + void bark() { + std::cout << name << " barks!" << std::endl; + } +}; +``` + +In this example, we've made the `name` and `age` data members `private` and added public member functions `setName` and `setAge` to modify them. This way, the internal data of the `Dog` class is protected and only accessible through the provided functions. + +### Inheritance + +Inheritance is the concept of deriving new classes from existing ones, which enables code reusability and organization. In C++, inheritance is achieved by using a colon `:` followed by the base class' access specifier and the base class name. For example: + +```cpp +class Animal { +public: + void breathe() { + std::cout << "I can breathe" << std::endl; + } +}; + +class Dog : public Animal { +public: + void bark() { + std::cout << "Dog barks!" << std::endl; + } +}; +``` + +In this example, the `Dog` class inherits from the `Animal` class, so the `Dog` class can access the `breathe` function from the `Animal` class. When you create a `Dog` object, you can use both `breathe` and `bark` functions. + +```cpp +Dog myDog; +myDog.breathe(); // Output: I can breathe +myDog.bark(); // Output: Dog barks! +``` + +### Polymorphism + +Polymorphism allows you to use a single interface to represent different types.

These concepts provide the foundation upon which you can build efficient, reliable, and maintainable programs. Here's a brief summary of some important language concepts in C++. + +### 1. Variables and Data Types +C++ provides various fundamental data types such as `int`, `float`, `double`, `char`, and `bool` to declare and manipulate variables in a program. + +Example: +```cpp +int age = 25; +float height = 1.7f; +double salary = 50000.0; +char grade = 'A'; +bool isEmployed = true; +``` + +### 2.

Exception Handling +C++ provides a mechanism to handle exceptions(runtime errors) gracefully using `try`, `catch`, and `throw` constructs. + +Example: +```cpp +try { + // Code that might throw an exception + int result = a / b; +} catch (const exception &e) { + cout << "Caught an exception: " << e.what(); +} +``` + +These are some of the key language concepts in C++, which will help you to understand the language better and develop efficient and maintainable applications. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/data/roadmaps/cpp/content/110-stl/100-iterators.md b/src/data/roadmaps/cpp/content/110-stl/100-iterators.md index 6f3c03ad4..b827ee604 100644 --- a/src/data/roadmaps/cpp/content/110-stl/100-iterators.md +++ b/src/data/roadmaps/cpp/content/110-stl/100-iterators.md @@ -1 +1,81 @@ -# Iterators \ No newline at end of file +# Iterators + +Iterators are objects in the C++ Standard Library (`STL`) that help us traverse containers like arrays, lists, and vectors.

It introduces many new features, enhancements, and improvements over the previous standards. Here is a brief summary of some key features in C++20. + +1. **Concepts**: Concepts provide a way to specify constraints on template parameters, ensuring that they meet a specific set of requirements. This allows for better compile-time error messages and code readability. + + Example: + ``` + template + concept Printable = requires(T x) { + {std::cout << x}; + }; + + template + void print(const T& x) { + std::cout << x << '\n'; + } + ``` + +2. **Ranges**: Ranges build on the iterator concept and provide a more usable and composable framework for dealing with sequences of values.

The libraries need to be available on the system where your program is running. + +To create a dynamic library, you'll need to compile your source files into object files, then create a shared library: + +``` +g++ -c -fPIC sourcefile.cpp -o objectfile.o +g++ -shared -o libmydynamiclibrary.so objectfile.o +``` + +To use a dynamic library, include the library's header files in your source code and then link the library during the compilation process: + +``` +g++ main.cpp -o myprogram -L/path/to/your/library/ -lmydynamiclibrary +``` + +Replace `/path/to/your/library/` with the path where your `libmydynamiclibrary.so` file is located. + +**NOTE:** When using dynamic libraries, make sure the library is in the system's search path for shared libraries. You may need to update the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable on Unix/Linux systems or the `PATH` variable on Windows. + +In conclusion, using libraries in C++ involves creating or obtaining a library (static or dynamic), including the library's header files in your source code, and linking the library during the compilation process. Be aware of the differences between static and dynamic libraries, and choose the right approach to suit your needs. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/data/roadmaps/cpp/content/frameworks/100-gtest.md b/src/data/roadmaps/cpp/content/frameworks/100-gtest.md index 8c206059e..2f18804c3 100644 --- a/src/data/roadmaps/cpp/content/frameworks/100-gtest.md +++ b/src/data/roadmaps/cpp/content/frameworks/100-gtest.md @@ -1 +1,75 @@ -# Gtest \ No newline at end of file +# Google Test (gtest) + +Google Test, also known as gtest or googletest, is a C++ testing framework developed by Google.
